Result: Barrow Central Wheelers Hill Climb

Another event – Another couple of course records go! (and we finally set a ladies club record on the course). On a humid, windless evening, Ben Granger (CCCR) flew up the climb to record a new course record time of 5:06, beating the previous record by 4 seconds. Not to be outdone, Mary Wilkinson (Yorkshire CC) held up the ladies end and smashed the previous record held by Lynn Hammel, by 34 seconds, finishing in a superb 6:11. And to top it all, we finally got a ladies club record ride by Amy Whelan of 8:44. Well done all.

There were some fast times tonight, the top 6 riders all recording sub 6 minute rides. There were also lots of ‘first timers’ on the climb tonight and this is the most riders we’ve had for this event which bodes well. Congratulations to the following 3 who rode course PB’s tonight… Sam Stephenson, Fraser Minnican & Richard Helm.

A big thankyou to all the event support team, marshals, sign placement, time keepers and of course you, the riders. Without you, it would not happen.
